Engineering – Consultants have started design work, we’re meeting on Wednesday to see what they’ve got. We can’t give details for patent reasons, but we are using this list of requirements as a starting point.

Research – In order to get our research program started, we are thinking about partnering with an organization such as MBARI, so that we can share facilities and perhaps staff, which would be way easier than starting from scratch. We’ll be meeting w/ someone in September to start exploring this.

Administrative – On track to submit non-profit application to IRS next week.
